Obviously a great story. The utmost congrats to David, Bobbi, Phil, Jaxx and the rest of the JJR team. What better way to reinforce Jason's legacy? He built an empire and I'm glad to see they are able to keep it going. 

Also, super props to Logan Schuhart. Unbelievable drive. Man, I hope in the future he has a better qualifying night. What speed. Super impressive. 

Thumbs up to Daryn Pittman as well. Maybe not as good as the top two cars, but he had a rocketship and ran a great race. 

Closest I've been to feeling sympathy for Donny. Rough week. Would have loved to see what he could have done without the issues.

Feel the need to put in here a respect notice to the 69K team. I've often been anti-Posse because of the fan base, but it was a respectable effort. Would like to see what they could pull off with more track time. 

All in all, fantastic week. We can argue about regions, formats, drivers, etc. till the sun goes down, but the sport we all love is just awesome. And this event is incredible. Hard to put into words how amazing it is. 

It is SO nice to see a NON Ponzi scheme - non entitled Californian represent at the nationals. Way to go Tim Kaeding!

Great run for TK. Hate to see the negativity towards Hotfoot. He probably should have a Nats title if TW didn't completely fuck him in 2008.

Lots of stories but Logans run from 22nd and Schatz moving up to 9th after going to tale.Pittman good run from 10th is what makes the Nationals the top dirt race of the year.Popular win as Doug Clark flagged his last Nationals.The format worked and except for Wednesdays being tough to pass in heats. A flat tire a tenth of second or someone elses mistake can make a big difference. from making the A or C main. Clean air is a big advantage if you can have everything line up to earn a front row starting spot as the 41 did . Well deserved.And now summer is about gone.

"Hot Shit" (or any other driver for that matter) would have done the same thing TW did in that circumstance and I am no TW fan.

Brad Sweet, Kyle Larson, Gio/Dominic Scelzi & Rico were part of a Ponzi scheme???  And were entitled??? I guess I can see maybe Rico & the Scelzi's maybe with the whole vineyard & racing family but that's stretching the term. 

I think California was represented well by a lot of quality people.

Nice win for Gravel and team but how did that eyesore of a car get the best appearing award?

A

Cause they had 30 people wearing the costumes instead of 3.

I dunno. 

But will that sponsor stay with them after the Nats?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

No, it was for the nationals only, but you never know what could happen

I thought it was one of the sharpest cars I've ever seen in person.  JMO

I liked it

I know everyone has their own opinions,  but personally i thought it was very cool. Then when I found out it was actually painted and lettered by hand I stead of a damn wrap it took it to another level. But to each their own. 

I'm gonna have to stop by Gravel's Auto Body in Watertown & congratulate his parents!
